say. I'd like to see him in the house here as much as any of you would. | But I know right well there's nothing I or any one else can do about the matter. I haven't roomed with him all this time not to know that he al- ways has a sound reason for anything he does, and to try to persuade him to change his course is sheer folly. Might as we]l try to move a mountain.” “Stubborn cuss, isn't he?” asked Wilcox, rhetorically. “Yes and no,” Sam replied, a trifie vexed at the tone pf Wilcox's remark. “Did he ever say anything to you | about the house? You know—whether he liked the boys here or not? whether he thought that G. O. wasn't quite his speed? Maybe if we kept gin in the house we might be able to at- tract him around now and then.” “I wouldn't say that if T were you, | Wilcox. Chuck Arnold may like his fire-water, but he has more sense than to hurt the fraternity by drinking in | this house. What's more, he doesn’t drink ane-tenth as much as you fel- lows think. All a man has to do on this campus is take one swallow of beer and he’s set down permanently as a wallowing sot. You're all wrong about Arnold.” “What keeps him from trying out for the foot ball team, then, if it isn't drinking and downright laziness?” Joe Colburn, third-string substitute end, asked hesitantly from atop the piano, where he was sitting. “That question I cannot answer. Except for Arnold himself, I am the only one in college who knows the real reason, and I promised on my word not to tell any one. I assure you, though, it isn't laziness or drinking, or | any silly reason like that.” “How about telling us why he never comes around to the house. Are we poison or lepers, or what?" “That’s another thing. As a mat- ter of fact, I never asked him; but if I were to guess, it's because he feels, and not without justification, that the fraternity as a unit is pretty sore at him for not going out for foot ball this Fall. Cocky and self-assured as he is by nature, he doesn't like petty | argument and ill-feeling, so he thinks it's best for him to remain away en- tirely. He understands your attitude. and he understands his own. I know _that he feels that the two are irrecon- cilable and that nothing can be done about it. That's that.” “There something to that. after all,” said Grayson. breaking the silence which followed Sam’s speech th de- fense of his roommate. “I think we'd be wiser not to stir up a fuss by trying to force a resignation at this time. He must have a good reason for not playing. And not coming over to the house simply is a natural by-product of his attitude toward the college, or Or | THE EVENING should I say the sport. I don’t think it would be a bad idea to let the whole affair ride for a couple of months. It may clear up of itself.” “I agree with you thoroughly,” said Sam. “I know Chuck well enough to say that if you mentioned to him that you were considering asking his resig- nation, he'd not hesitate a minute to | resign. He's that way. On the other hand, if you just leave him alone, he may find his way around by himself eventually; and once you get @ know of him, just as I do. He'd give you his shirt if he likes you. If he doesn't, well then it's just too bad.” “Oh, Sam, I meant to ask you, what's the ‘low-down’ on his run-in with McBrair at the field last week. | I heard he crocked the old boy right on the button.” “That’s the bunk. A downright and malicious rumor. Chuck drove up to | the field to watch the practice. He leaned on the horn accidentally and the button got stuck. It kept blowing while McBrair was trying to tell the squad something, and he got mad. He | walked over and gave Chuck a piece of | | his mind, and Chuck told him what | he thought of him. That's all there is | to it. As for hitting McBrair, that's absolutely ridiculous.” “Say.” piped up “Sleepy” Bill Burey, “maybe he hates Dynamite Dan so |much that that’s the reason he gave up foot ball. By gosh, there's a clue. Now isn't it?"” STAR, him, I'm sure you'll think the world | chatter about the'G. O. bunch lacking fraternal spirit and unity? Fine situ- ation, I call it. I'm all for the original suggestion that we ask his resigna- tion.” “Just a second,” offered Grayson, in his quiet and deliberate way. “There’s something to what Barkley said about Arnold having a good reason for everything he does, especially for not going out for the team. If that reason |is sound at all his not coming around | here is explainable and even pardon- able. He knows that this house is a house of action, of campus achieve- ment and of strong loyalties. He knows that we must feel definitely off him because of his failure to co-operate with us in our policy. Granting that he hasn't done his duty or even come around and explained his action, I think we ought to lay off any resigna- tion stuff. Not only because of what | Barkley said about Arnold being a good guy, but it would do more harm than good right now.” “I agree with you, Bob,” chimed in one of the brothers. “The other houses would spread it all over the campus that we dropped, Arnold merely because he refused to play foot ball. That would never do. The fact that “Might be something in it at that,” agreed Wilcox. “Every one knows he | played®great on the frosh outfit. Liked | the game then, too. You could see that | by the way hé played. Got a tremen- | dous kick out of it. Wouldn't surprise me at all if that were the reason.” Sam didn't say a word. He puffed vigorously at his cigarette. “I've got to duck along.” he said hurriedly. “Got to make a class. See you all later. So long.” When Sam had closed the front dmr behind him Wilcox brought his hand down on the arm of the chair with a | bang. “Looks to me as though the house was afraid of this bird Arnold. | What are we supposed to do, sit around and let the campus talk about disunion | in our ranks?

It was nearly 1 o'clock and all but one or two had afternoon ses- sions. The gathering broke up and the big room in the G. O. house was sud- denly emptied. (To be continued.)

NEW CREDIT OFFICIAL HONORED AT LUNCHEON Grosner Urges Caution in Further Liberalization of Policies in Retail Trade. John K. Althaus, recently appointed managing director of the Associated Retail Credit Men of Washington, was formally presented to the asso- ciation at a luncheon meeting yester- day at the Woodward & Lothrop store. For the past three years Althaus has been controller at Jel- | lefl's store. Gerald D. Grosner, guest speaker at the meeting, asked credit men “to keep their feet on the ground” in re- gard to further liberalization of credit ! policies. Grosner pointed out the | strength of any credit association lies in a policy of uniform credit allow- ance measures among its members. Althaus, whose resignation at Jel- lefi’s takes effect at the end of this week. will assume his new position Monday. 7’ il Licensed to Marry.
